I have a couple of questions for HIV expert:
1. I have read that using 2 condoms increases its chance of breakage.. how would you know the condom broke in case of 2?? In case of 1 it rips apart and would be obvious to eye .. what if use 2??  How would I know??
2. The sexworker was checked after 1 month of exposure with a CMIA ab/ag test and negative.. so can she ruled out of HIV??
3. I myself checked with a Elissa antibody (HIV 1 and 2) nd ECLIA ab/ag after 54 days.. negative.. how reliable is this?? In my country 3 month is the official period

Hello.  MedHelp adheres to the position of the CDC as well as the input of expert physicians that HIV is only transmitted through unprotected vaginal or anal sex, the sharing of needles, or from mother to child.  You, therefore, did not have a risk as you had condom protected sex.  As your question has been fully answered, we are now closing this thread.  We wish you the best of health.

Any condom failure creates a big visible tear which you would easily see. - so that didn't happen. You can't get HIV since the condom did not fail so you wasted your time testing.
OK!! And what about the result you have to say.. let's say in worst case the condom broke.. are u happy with the testing??
And Anxious nominee .. I do got one question.. I gave my blood for PCR test but the the test will be conductor after 3 days I give the sample.. will this delay affect my result in any way??
Kindly reread the first sentence of my post over and over until you get the full meaning.
